asus A7N8X

[Guest]

I have an asus A7N8X mobo, ethernet will not work with vista rc1. Ethernet
controller shows up in device manager with no drivers. Tried asus drivers,
nvidia mobo drivers (old and new versions of each) Still no ethernet. I
installed an old pci ethernet card and installed drivers, still nothing! It
works fine with mepis linux, so its not a hardware problem. I then installed
on another computer with a MSI K7N2G mobo, ethernet worked fine, had to
manually install creative sound drivers. Its funny that mepis linux is easier
to install than vista! Any ideas on getting ethernet to work on asus mobo?

Do you have the version 2 M/B (A7N8X Deluxe 2.0)?

If so, plug the cat5 cable into the lower ethernet port. This is the
built-in port for the Nvidia lan adapter. RC1 and 5728 both work fine with
this port. The lan adapter will be automatically configured during install.

If you are plugged into the upper lan port, you are connected to a built-in
3com lan adapter. These drivers are not part of the install package.

Nowhere does the information say that these drivers are for nForce 2
motherboards.

I just pointed the device at the v5.4 drivers for XP from Asus's site
& they installed, not tried the 3COM port to see if it works through,
but vista didn't complain!
Just want drivers for the sound chip, so that the rear speakers will work.
